Summary
David Dean, nominated to the Idaho Endowment Fund Investment Board, told the Senate State Affairs Committee he brings accounting and private-sector experience and wants to "give back" to Idaho; the committee heard his biography and rationale but no recommendation or vote is recorded in the minutes.
David Dean of Meridian introduced himself to the Senate State Affairs Committee on Jan. 23 as the governor’s nominee to the Idaho Endowment Fund Investment Board. Dean outlined a career that began in accounting, led to founding Western Records Destruction, and ended with his retirement; he said serving on the Board would be "a way for him to give back to his community."
Senator Bernt asked Dean why he wanted to serve on the Endowment Fund board. Dean replied that the Board was "very important for the State of Idaho," that his background made him a good fit, and that he believed he would be an asset. The minutes record Dean’s education (attendance at The College of Idaho and graduation from Boise State University) and his prior work as a certified public accountant and business owner.
The minutes show this item was a committee consideration of the gubernatorial appointment; they do not record a motion, recommendation or vote on Dean’s nomination. The appointment paperwork in the minutes lists a term commencing April 11, 2025, and expiring April 11, 2029.
Background and next steps: the Idaho Endowment Fund Investment Board oversees investment of state endowment assets; the committee minutes do not state when or whether the committee will make a formal recommendation on Dean’s nomination. No further testimony or public comment on the nomination is recorded in the minutes.
